SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 374,380, dated December 6. 1 887.

Application filed August 24, 1887. Serial No. 247,746.

To aZZ whom it vncty concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY E, TIEPKE, of Pawtucket, in the countyof Providence and State of Rhode Island,have invented a certain Improvement in Cans, of which the following is a specification.

My said invention relates to cans for transporting milk and other commodities, having the usual cylinder and bottom, but provided with a double neck and breast to give to these parts greater strength and durability.

The accompanyingdrawingsarehereby made part of this specification, similar letters of reference thereon indicating corresponding parts.

Figure l of said drawings is a perspective View of the exterior ofa can embodying my invention; and F1 2 is'a transverse vertical section of the same, showing the double neck and breast and their respective relations to the rest ofthe device.

In said drawings, a representsthe bow1;b c, the neck; cf, the breast; g, the cylinder; t, the band, and 7c the bottom.

In constructing the can shown in the drawings the cylinder 9 is made as heretofore, the upper part terminating at the points 00 :17, as shown in Fig. 2. The double neck and breast are of separate pieces of metal, each formed or worked up to the required shape, the outer piece, a of, being formed to make the bowl, neck, and breast, and the inner piece, I) 6, formed into the shape of the neck and breast,

(No model.)

and having an integrally-formed band, 2', or" a size to fitover the outer surface of the cylinder 9. The parts I) e and cfare firmly united, as by soldering, and the bowl, neck, and breast are secured to the cylinder by means of band 2', which is soldered or otherwise attached thereto.

Having thus set forth my said invention and the manner of making the same, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1; The combination, with the cylinder, ofa double neck and breast formed of two integral parts, the inner part of which is secured to the outer part and provided with an integral band fitting over the outer side of the cylinder and soldered or otherwise suitably secured thereto, for the purpose stated.

2. The combination, with the cylinder, ofa double neck and breast formed of two integral parts, the outer part of which has an integral bowl-forming portion, while the inner part is secured to the outer part,and is provided with an integral band fitting over the outer side of the cylinder and soldered or otherwise suitably secured thereto,substantially as described,and for the purposes stated.
